>> happy indeed, but you can't blame him for being scared. the news keeps coming. brian bolter is standing by with your news edge at 11:00. >> the edge begins with a weather alert for people across the northeast as a major winter storm gets ready to dump feet of snow over parts of new england. that same storm system is going to impact our area overnight. of course, not to that extent. you'd know that by now. let's bring in sue palka tracking this thing for us. >> i think we'll have a little impact in the early morning, overnight and very late tomorrow night, too. what i expect overnight is perhaps a little sleet and freezing rain or snow to mix in, especially north and west, but i'm not expecting huge problems, just maybe a slick spot or two. most of us will see light rain and not a whole lot of rain during the day tomorrow. let's start with radar so you can see where things are now. it hasn't quite gotten to fredericksburg, probably raining, lightning in lexington park in salisbury over to

charlottesville. west of charlottesville you begin to see a little snow and sleet on the western side of this precipitation. it's all moving south to north and will overspread us overnight. if you live far enough west tomorrow, you might not see a lot of moisture, but you will get the backside of it when things develop off the coast. we do have a lot of rain that's just down to our south. of course, as we've talked about this throughout the last hour, that this is part of a system that will develop and become quite an impressive storm for new england and in particular, eastern new england, but locally we do have some winter weather advisories that will kick in at midnight and this does include now montgomery and howard. it gets up to baltimore, over to frederick and includes loudoun county and northern faquier county because there could be just enough of a combination of snow, sleet and freezing rain when this begins to put down maybe a small coating on some grassy areas and on untreated surfaces. potentially there could be a little slick spot here and there in the morning. most of the rest of the day tomorrow it will just be light rain and the bulk of that will

be east of interstate 95, could end with a little snow, though. quite a different story up north. residents across new england bracing for what could be a historic storm. several people spent the day stocking up on the essentials, food, water and fuel for about a week. road crews spent the day getting salt and sand ready to go. several areas have canceled school tomorrow. airlines causing disruptions for travelers nationwide after cancelling more than 1,700 flights. you can track this thing 24/7 on the fox 5 weather app. we are streaming our newscast live on your cell phone. log onto our website www.myfoxdc.com to find out more. another big story, a controversy over the use of drone strikes to kilter roar suspects spilled out into a fiery -- kill terror suspects spilled out into a fiery hearing today. john brennan, the president's

that we were so unworthy of being trusted? >> the anti-war group code pink claimed responsibility for the protests which they say were needed to draw attention to brennan's record on drone strikes. >> these drone strikes have killed a lot of innocent people and we feel he's lying to us. >> the senate intelligence committee is expected to vote on brennan's nomination in the next few days. now keep in mind these protests are not expected to do anything to derail brennan's nomination. he has received praise from both democrats and republicans. if confirmed, he'll take over a job vacated by former cia director david petraeus who quit last year after announcing an affair with his biographer. to a developing story in california where the manhunt continues for a former los angeles police officer accused of going on a killing spree. police say 33-year-old christopher dorner killed one officer and two others today including the daughter of a

what we want to be sure of is in the morning you don't have slick spots. i suspect we won't have widespread problems, might be a couple two hour delays, but this will change over to a bit of rain and only about 1/4- inch, so not even a rainy day with several dry hours. the big finale could be a band of snow showers or small accumulation across northeastern maryland tomorrow night. we start out with a look at what is going on in the atmosphere. of course, it's going to be all about the two pieces of this storm, the one from the south and the one coming across the ohio valley and great lakes becoming one big monster storm, getting together too late to bring us any snow. it's going to certainly clobber eastern new england with 1, 2, maybe 3 feet of snow snowing at 2 to 4 inches per hour. they've been battening down the hatches. it will really hit them tomorrow night and saturday, but it will start earlier.

blizzard conditions are a big part of this story across the northeast, very strong wind, probably power outages and there will be snow across new york, pennsylvania and maybe northeastern maryland while we'll get rain and i think it will be fairly light and most of it south and east of d.c. or east of 95. we could see a little snow toward the end. just thought i'd show you some of these totals again where we see the blizzard conditions. new york is just on the en, but i think new york could -- edge, but i think new york could get 6 to 12 and bridgeport 12 to 18. north of hartford west of providence 18 to 24, boston in there and man chest. albany is close -- manchester. albany is close, but closer to new york it's the 3 to 6-inch amounts. into player it could drop an inch or 2 -- maryland it drop an inch or 2. in the highlands perhaps you'll get 1 to 2 inches of snow in the mountains

after 7:00 or 6:00 tomorrow night. everything is sneaking up from the south. you can see it's beginning to change over to snow and sleet in the charlottesville area and i expect along interstate 81 you have a better chance of getting maybe enough of a coating to 1/2-inch or maybe an inch to cause slick spots in the morning. it will change over to rain even there. as the system comes north, you can see what weir talking about with roanoke along interstate -- we're talking about with roanoke along interstate 81 changing over. it's still 47 here. even if we get sleet, it should melt off pavement locally, 38 quantico. then you get colder spots like frederick and hagerstown, watch here temperatures in the morning. overnight most places stay at least above freezing from d.c. on south. we'll watch hagerstown, martinsburg, winchester, culpeper, maybe a couple spots there could have issues with a slick spot here and there.

overnight 34 degrees, precipitation arriving through early morning and any mixing we have changes over to rain by midmorning. i think this rain will be fairly light, could end as light snow as with. our temperature gets up to 44 degrees tomorrow. so compared to new england we're getting off easy. saturday is blustery. you'll be kind of complaining about that windy think, 41 degrees. sunday is nice at 50 degrees. -- wind i think, 41 degrees. sunday is nice at 50 degrees, a couple rain showers, tuesday 50 degrees and valentine's day 45 degrees with showers. there's value in a fast start, but there's also a saying in sports it's not how you start but how you finish. that takes care of the 1st and 3rd period, but what about the 2nd? the caps have been particularly vexed in the middle period outscored 14-6 this year. they gave up three in the 2nd period to the penguins four

days ago. tonight the rematch off to a great start. the mask goes month of, mike ribeiro with the easy goal -- mask goes off, mike ribeiro with the easy goal. pittsburgh just warming up but neuvirth's night was done. he surrendered two goals on 11 attempts. in comes braden holtby to replace him and he didn't do much better. [ audio difficulty ] then again that game was in college park. the terps came into tonight still searching for the first

acc road win. to blacksburg, the terps visiting virginia tech. hokies trailed early but end the the half on a 14-2 run. hokies led 27-24 at the break. 2nd half terps respond off the miss. it's nick faust all alone for the easy deuce. he had a good game tonight. this was tied late. logan aronholt with five points, but here's three. maryland get the road win tonight, 60-55 and matched last year's win total already with 17. tony bennett and the cavs hosting clemson. evan nolte dials one up from long distance with nine off the bench tonight. 38-10 at the half. 2nd half more of the say of reverse alley-oop jam by justin anderson from montrose christian, 14 for him. virginia winning tonight.
